Now That You Ask

206. Appreciation


Listen Later

What is the difference between having things and simply appreciating them—and how has that distinction shaped the way we see the world? Inspired by a quote from Albert Hubbard and memories of flipping through Town & Country magazines with my mother, I take a sentimental and humorous journey through antique stores, high-end jewelry I’ll never own, and lavish homes I’ll never live in. But rather than feel envy, I’ve learned to let these moments of beauty and fantasy awaken a deeper sense of gratitude for what is in my life. Join me as I explore how appreciating what we can’t have might just teach us how to love what we do—and how beauty, even in the pages of a glossy magazine, can remind us to say a simple but powerful “thank you.”



Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life’s most persistent questions.
